Sure, but a local paper like the New York Times is hardly subject to the laws of the EU, so GDPR doesn’t apply.

- wtfishackernews 7y agoIf their website is accessible from the EU then they are subject to GDPR.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 7y agoIt does if they take subscribers from the EU (or california) and apply this process to them. It's incredibly straightforward. If you do business in some jurisdiction, then that business is subject to the jurisdiction's laws.
- mopsi 7y agoNot only do they take subscribers, they actively target the European market. When I open nytimes.com, a pop-up offers 0,50€/week digital access.
- true_religion 7y agoHmm, it seems I was wrong then. I had thought that they didn’t localize to any EU countries, but I guess they have more of a global market than the other papers I am more familiar with.
- kube-system 7y agoThe EU says that GDPR applies globally. Some violators might successfully keep their assets out of the reach of EU enforcement, but that's going to be really tough to do for any large business with global operations.
